A profile of Leeds
About Leeds
Leeds is the UK's third largest city, with a population of 724,000, yet has a compact, easily walkable city centre, and is just a few miles to the beautiful countryside of Yorkshire, with its inspiring moorlands and stunning coastlines.
The city offers an architectural mix of old and new, with stylish modern flats sitting comfortably alongside red-brick terraces and elegant Victorian homes. According to English Heritage there are more listed buildings than in any English city outside London!
Profiles of neighbourhoods in Leeds
Leeds City Council has worked with partner organisations, including NHS Leeds, to develop an enhanced area profiling system at a neighbourhood level. This means you can access key information about neighbourhoods across Leeds from a single site - which is hosted by the Leeds Initiative. A link to the neighbourhood index can be found below.
